Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge

Nkasa Lupala Tented Lodge
4.0 star property
Sangwali
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (9 reviews)
"Lovely welcome on arrival. Tent was clean, private, comfortable with fabulous views. Staff were attentive, served us with a smile and could not do enough for us. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and plentiful and tea with cookies was a nice touch at 4 pm. We had a wonderful game drive with Dusty, who is very knowledgeable, informing us about local customs in the area too. I was unfortunately not well during our stay, however the staff could not be more accommodating and kind to me."
